Awareness Through Movement®
in the Sunflower Centre, Brockley

Whole Self Breathing & Vocal Power

Sunday 5th September 2010, 12pm - 6pm

This workshop will feature lessons designed to greatly improve the fullness, depth and ease of your breathing, enabling you to rediscover your natural breathing coordination, and to recognise where breath inhibition is limiting your emotional expressiveness and vitality. We will then connect this fuller breathing to greater vocal control and power.

Conscious Voice - Resonance, Flexibility and Stamina

Sunday 12th September 2010, 12pm - 6pm

This workshop features lessons designed to greatly improve your understanding and awareness of how your voice works, enabling you to safely explore a greater vocal range and to develop the vocal sounds you already use to bring softness, mobility and flexibility to your jaw, lips, tongue and larynx. We will explore the full range of possible internal adjustments of the true and false vocal folds, pharynx, larynx & soft palate to begin the development of a completely aware and conscious voice, able to produce any desired vocal quality.

Freeing Your Neck, Arms and Shoulders

Sunday 3rd October 2010, 12pm - 6pm

This workshop will feature Awareness Through Movement lessons designed to decrease tension and discomfort in the arms, shoulders and neck, and increase flexibility and ease in the whole of the upper back area. The day will be suitable for beginners and particularly helpful for people with upper back, neck or shoulder pain, or any symptoms of RSI.

Moving on a Cushion of Air

Sunday 17th October, 12pm - 6pm - £5.00 supplement

Many modern movement practises are exploring the new possibilities for learning offered by the availability of soft, elastic balls of air and Feldenkrais is no different. In this workshop we will explore the potential for greater ease, fluidity and pleasure in movement that is offered by the wonderfully adaptable and portable tool that the smaller air balls provide. I will bring along balls of various sizes (7" to 10") and there will be one for you to take home in order to continue to explore the day's discoveries for yourself.

Ease and Mobility in Hips, Knees and Ankles

Sunday 7th November 2010, 12pm - 6pm

Problems in the knees are often a sign of subtle imbalances in our whole skeletal structure. Improving connections and mobility in the lower joints can relieve pain in your neck and upper spine as well as locally. It was the determination to avoid unreliable surgery for a long-standing knee injury that inspired Feldenkrais to develop his method as a highly effective approach to self improvement.

Integrating Your Arms and Legs

Sunday 21st November 2010, 12pm - 6pm

This workshop will re-organise the outer and inner connections of your limbs to your torso and to each other in order to clarify the lines of power and efficient functioning from the tips of your fingers down to your toes, relieving chronic tension and allowing better coordination, whole-self awareness and youthful elasticity.

Core Mobility 1: Balance and Internal Connections

Sunday 5th December 2010, 12pm - 6pm

This workshop will re-organise the muscles of the torso to access your natural strength, clarifying the lines of power and efficient functioning connecting your limbs through your centre, and revealing better balance, coordination and whole-self awareness.

Core Mobility 2: Vitality and Strength

Sunday 12th December 2010, 12pm - 6pm

We will stimulate and re-educate the deeper muscles of the torso, connecting your limbs to your natural power source and encouraging internal elasticity. You will experience better balance, more fluid coordination and increasing whole-self awareness. This is a great day for anyone concerned with loss of vitality or posture issues.
